PACT is unique because staff and parents work alongside each other to ensure student success. Studies show that parental involvement in the classroom increases student achievement (higher test scores and grades), promotes positive self-esteem, creates positive behavior, and improves attendance and graduation rates.
 

Each PACT family is asked to volunteer at least FOUR hours per month or 36 hours per school year. 

Want to get involved and not sure what opportunities fit your schedule? Contact our Volunteer Coordinator to find a volunteer opportunity that suits you!

We ask every family to volunteer for four hours per month. Here are a few ways you can be involved:

• Hot lunch subs
• Classroom Teacher Assistants (TAs)
• Chaperone field trips
• Read with students
• Level classroom books
• Office help
• Event help
• Panther Paw Donations
• Review curriculum
• Serve on committees
• Assist at sporting events
• Provide conference dinners and treats
• Join the PTO or Booster Club
• And much more!

For the safety of all our students, volunteers need a completed background check on file at PACT before volunteering within the school in any capacity. Background checks must be completed by each volunteer every three years. To get started, complete the request form below. 

A nursery is available for up to three hours per day for volunteers. Volunteers who need childcare should sign up in advance by contacting the Volunteer Coordinator. There is no charge for using the nursery. Note: Only available at the Elementary Campus.

How we use your donation:

The funds we receive are utilized in the following ways to build the volunteer program:

• Program Expansion: Use the funds to expand the scope or reach of volunteer programs, allowing for more extensive community engagement or the establishment of new initiatives.
• Supplies and Resources: Purchase necessary supplies, equipment, or materials needed to support volunteer activities or enhance the volunteer experience.
• Recognition and Appreciation: Allocate funds to volunteer recognition events, awards, or incentives to acknowledge and appreciate volunteers' efforts and encourage continued participation.
• Administrative Costs: Cover administrative expenses associated with managing volunteer programs, such as recruitment, background checks, and coordination efforts.
• Infrastructure Improvements: Invest in infrastructure improvements that facilitate volunteer activities, such as technology for tracking.
